As the V35 coupe has no separate fuel filter, Ive been told that I have to replace the whole fuel pump as part of compliance. This alone is setting me back $700.

Just wondering if there is any way around this?

Thats a bit steep to change the fuel pump!

Yeah $700 is for the compliance workshop to get it direct from Japan.

I just rang the local nissan dealer. They want $1015 :O

part number 17040-CD400

Theres nothing wrong with my car. Its only done 26,000km.

The compliance workshop said it needs to get done - I guess according to DOTARS??? He said there is nothing he can do about it.

Basically every filter/fluid etc needs to be changed. And as the coupe doesnt have a separate fuel filter Ive been told the whole fuel pump needs to be changed to a new factory one.

F'king waste of a fuel pump and $$$ if you ask me.

Iam currently getting my car complianced i dont have to change fuel pump for my car... why what wrong with your how kms has it done ? thats is very expensive for a fuel pump ?

They are supposed to be replaced but since people wont pay the money as they just want cheap compliance till the filter goes (yes I know it's very rare), just did M35 Stagea and it was a shit of a job as it is in the fuel tank.

Guys, isn't the fuel filter in the V35 one that doesn't need replacing? Hence why they've put it in the tank.

I'm on my second V35 and this wan not mentioned in either.

I think the requirement is that all "consumable" filters be replaced. If the filter is designed to last the life of the car, the it shouldn't fall into the same category as say an oil filter, or air filter.

My opinion is don't do it.

Its just another wank of a job doatars have stipulated.If the evidence has been updated to include this now,its a joke.If it was there from the start then i suspect 99% of compliance centres wouldnt have bothered-thay cut costs wherever they can.

Tell them where to go,and get it done somewhere else.Thats the risk importing yourself-you havent the 'customer loyalty' that an importer would receive due to the larger volume of work they would bring.simple as that.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
